Subscribe to The Sampler and support indie community…..

August 2, 2007 by Jamie 4 Comments


The Sampler is an innovative marketing & promotional tool for indie businesses. Each month, independent crafters, artists, shops, zines and record labels, send samples and promotional materials to a contribution pool. All the samples are photographed, posted to the site and then portioned out, put in packages and sent off to Sampler Subscribers, Sampler Contributors and members of the Media all over the world! If you own or work for an indie business, consider contributing to the Sampler. Contributors can find information here. Don’t own a business? That’s ok! For $26 a month you get a delightful package of 15 plus samples sent to your door! Find more subscription information here. They even have a bustling blog community so you can preview what goodies await you! Go Sampler!

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
